A woman's place is to cook and clean. Stereotypes always chant.

A woman's place is on her knees, completely subservient.

A woman's place is to serve; to be seen, but not heard.

A woman's place is to be a wife and bear her husbands children.

Sit like a lady, be a size two. Do not speak unless spoken to.

This isn't the fifties. Maybe I'm a slob and just want to sleep. I don't yet have a husband and children to keep, but I do have a love and he likes me just as I am. He holds me when I cry and listens when I talk too much. He pleases me as much as I do him though I'm far from a two. Our relationship is good and he wants me to be me even when that means he might have to clean.
